I grow for my whole family and several others. I also donate to a few Veterans. Its legal to gift 2 zips per person. I make salve , edibles and gummies as well. Going to try hard candies next. The gummies don’t travel well to hotter states in the summer months.

I am retired and take care of Mom 86 with Dementia and Dad 88 with cancer. The gardening helps me decompress. Staying busy keeps me from worrying about things I cant control. Plus the people that get the salve Really say it helps.

Bravo to you. I grow for pleasure and also take the edge off the world and avoid trips to the weed store. I grew an assload this year by accident. Nothing special or fancy, just regular bud. I as well gift some but not for medical as thats upper shelf stuff beyond the quality that I grow!!!

I believe I just purchased some C99 seeds from @JohnnyPotseed that you created. Should be fun. It’s been decades since I grew her!

It took me 2 years to find seeds someone would trade for. I cant pay $88 for 3 seeds. A friend on X had some he grew last in 2016. He traded me 10 seeds I germed 5. 3 popped my cat ate one. The other 2 were male and female. I made seeds. C99 x C99. I had more than 4 ounce container of seeds. I had just harvested. When I heard about his broken hip and everything else, I just wanted to help. If I kept them they would eventually go bad. I grew his NL fems. They were Fire. I asked if I could send him some. I tested them all germed. I have 3 growing outside right now about the 2nd week of flower. I was going to veg them until spring and make clones. We had a power outage that lasted more than 4 hours. Theyflowered so I put them outside to finish.both parents were over 6 fttall

Amazing garden man, and how nice of you to take care of your people and the community. Kudos for that. I started to grow because my mom had cancer and have been growing since then, even though she’s not around anymore. It helped a lot, during and after and since then has been a way to decompress and learn and connect with other people.
I will start an outdoor project. Hoping to learn from your garden since I never grew outdoor. My biggest question so far is how to select the females. Do you transplant them after finding out the sex?
I do the same in MD. start seedlings inside in early March and bring them outside to live around May 10, my plants are usually ready for harvest the end of October/ first week in November.

Yes I sex them inside. After showing sex and a minimum of 8 weeks veg. I have some photos inside I was going to veg the winter but they will outgrow my space so I am flipping them next week. In mid to late Dec I will start my outside photos inside. I will move them outside March 1st. They will flip to flower with the sun and be done by Mid to end Of May. When I move those outside. I will start round 2 inside. They will be ready to go outside as I chop.

That’s really helpful man, I appreciate it a lot. I got some tips regarding the photoperiod from some australian mates which is good because we share latitude and have the same hours of sunlight. I will start with fems but I’ll get a hold of some regulars soon and I was wondering how to select the females. How big is the pot you veg them in?
Thanks for the help man, really appreciated it!
I just harvested on. It was tiny due to s power outage at 4 weeks old. It went into flower. I will try again in Late Dec for a spring crop.
